Mother indicted in 12-year-old Millington girl's death

A 36-year-old woman has been indicted for first-degree murder in the November 2012 death of her 12-year-old daughter, who died in Millington from gangrene and infected bedsores, the Shelby County District Attorney General's Office said Friday.

Raven Ruth was extradited from New Orleans this week, and was being held without bond.

Andrea Ruth's father, 42-year-old Errol Johnson, and a home-health aide, 41-year-old Chasara Jones, were booked in February on the same charge.

"(Andrea Ruth) suffered from asthma, hypertension and obesity, but the defendants neglected or ignored her medically fragile state and her need for medical care," Shelby County Dist. Atty. Gen. Amy Weirich said in a news release.
